Chuck Schumer: imagine having an ample supply of buckets
NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

What the United States has done this week is as devastating for the cosy Atlanticist world view, as the Credit Crunch was for those who comfortably believed that left to themselves markets tended towards equilibrium.
In other words: a serious conceptual rupture.

The feds cutting off state authorities from access to the evidence and then not investigating the case themselves seems like a massive criminal conspiracy to me

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

Senegal win the Africa Cup of Nations. Pape Gueye's stunning extra-time strike proved the difference.
Does that tell the full story? Not even slightly.
A questionable penalty decision in Morocco's favour, Senegal's walk-off and fury, Brahim Diaz's failed panenka.
That just scratches the surface.

If some Dems are afraid of the "abolish ICE" slogan but generally agree with the principle, which seems to be the case, they should come up with something better than "reform ICE." Obviously a totally new plan for immigration enforcement is needed. Not just some reforms

According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved.
She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused.
So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.
